Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio Coming to you from

(00:22):
the tierrag dot com studios, tyrat dot com. We have
to get there on match election past, free shipping, free
road as protection, over ten thousand recommended stallars, ti rat
dot com, s way tire buying should be. I want
to get to the midway in a second. Okay, the
midway for those of us shoe fosi are just joining

(00:42):
us middle of the week, middle of the show, middle
of the day. But uh, before we get to that,
I did want to get to just this little thing
in regards to so, there is a report that uc
F Central Florida has reached out to USC to inquire
about Lincoln Riley's interest. And and and we had R. J.

(01:06):
Young on last hour and he's like, well, there must
be smoked, the must be fire, which all RJ does
a great job with his number one podcast. He's just
too close to the forest to see the trees right
in that. If you mention anything Lincoln Riley, people who
are owe you people or OU fans lose their mind.

(01:29):
I think there's a lot of reasons he took the
se job, and one is what's happened in Oklahoma, since
no matter how good you are, it's not going to
be good enough in that sec But I also think
that's what Central Florida's doings a. It's a no lose
situation there. And by the way, this happens all the time,

(01:53):
all the time. When you are the athletic director. You
have your potential dream hires, you have your dream hires,
and then maybe you have a list of five guys
that maybe they're unhappy elsewhere, or maybe they think they're
a year away from getting fired. So you call Lincoln
Riley and you're like, hey, you call Ryan Day again.

(02:15):
Ryan Day's not getting fired. Lincoln Riley's not getting fired.
The buyouts are too big, Mike Gundy, you know he's
got a twenty five million dollar buyout. Would you like
to come and restart your life and take another shot
at Central Florida. Look, the reality is Gus malls On
was the head coach at Central Florida. And what he
did by taking the offensive coordinator job. Where do you

(02:38):
take the offense coordinator job at Auburn? Where do you
go take the OFFENSEI court in your job? Why I'm
blanking my mind. Gus malls On did what they're wondering
if Lincoln Riley would do, which is taking infarior job. LSU.
By the way, he answered, taking inferior job because you

(03:02):
know the job you have is likely going to come
to an end in twelve months. That's why he did it.
We you know, you know the sign when you hit
your top tap to the top of your head. Do
you guys know what that means? In basketball? Tap the
top of your head and then you do the circle
that's reset the shot clock. Sorry, Gus Maulson took the

(03:22):
offensive coording a position at Florida State instead of being
the head coach at Central Florida. Why because you knew
he's gonna get fired. I mean the same thing happened
at UCLA last year, right, and Chip Kelly went and
took the Ohio State offensive coordinator job. He went from
making I think six million to two million, but doesn't

(03:45):
have the stress still making seven figures, you know, and
gets the coach football. Don't have to worry about at
I just want to coach, and instead of getting fired,
you just move on. So Central Florida doing it is
a shot in the dark. And you should call all
of these coaches that have had success, that you respect,

(04:05):
that you think do a pretty good job. But for
whatever reason, maybe it's just been too you've been at
one place too long. Maybe you want to get out
of the cold. Not for Lincoln Riley, right, But that's
I think what's at play. Lincoln Riley's not leaving USC
for Central Florida. It is disrespect towards Central Florida. It is.

(04:32):
But Lincoln Riley probably thinks to himself, even if I
get fired at USC in a couple of years, I
can still get Central Florida if I want it. Let's
get to the midway. He's not getting in the middle.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's time for the middle.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
The midway already, case STU, What did we what do
we do? What do we land on? Do we land on? Worse?
Celebrations most offensive celebrations are just Dan wanted to talk
about awesome celebrations.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Thank you, Doug.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I'll take it from here. I want you know, coming
off of yesterday's you and Dan and Sam had a
very colorful argument about the the you know, sticking the
flag in the middle of the field, right, the very
polarizing topic this week, sticking the flag in the middle

(05:27):
of the field. How offensive that is? And I thought
to myself, and I think you said several times everybody
knows that line not to cross. Everybody knows that line.
And I was thinking to myself, what are some examples
in the past of people that have crossed that line?
That would be an interesting midway. So I threw that
out to the group this morning on the group text,

(05:47):
and Dan was like, why don't we open it up
a little bit more and we could add our favorite
celebrations as well. I excu negative. I love negativity. I
like when people are uncomfortable it It amuses me. Dan
is a much more glass half full. He's a positive guy.
So you have a choice in this segment most favorite

(06:12):
celebrations or those celebrations that went too far that pissed
people off. And I'll started off along those lines, Okay.
Randy Moss in two thousand and five played the Packers,
he scored a touchdown, he pretended to drop his trial,
drop his pants, and I want to say he rubbed
his butt on the goalpost. If everyone could in fact

(06:35):
check me on this, he is a disgusting act by
Randy and I think, yeah, Joe Buck's comment Terry on
that has has since been he has he is admitted
to regretting those comments. But I think that that was
a memorable celebration because in the moment, because it was

(06:57):
in Green Bay and he was showing him as re
were very offensive. Randy Moss was a polarizing guy. Anyways.
We were in a different time, you know. He was
kind of like the AI of the NFL. He was
the Allen Iverson of the NFL, and I think he
got a lot maybe people overreacted to his disrespect a
little bit more back in the day. So Randy Moss

(07:18):
and the mooning celebration is my input, what do you
guys think?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think I loved I love the topic. My thing
would be it was I didn't understand the level of
offense that Joe Buck took to it in any way.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
That's what he regrets.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, byer. You you have a great memory
for all of these things.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, yeah, and there's and I wanted to just I
wanted to skew positive because I felt that there were
some actually great celebrations that we have seen previously, and
none better than the Fun Bunch back in the day
when when Washington, yeah Washington then Redskins with their wide

(08:07):
receiving core. Charlie Brown was a member of it. Not
the cartoon actual player.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I think our Monk was part of the Fun Bunch
as well the U. But they would get in the
middle of the end zone and they would all do
a high five together after a touchdown. And I think
it's it's my earliest recognition or memory of actual celebrations
and team celebrations was that. So that's why I wanted

(08:35):
to open up in terms of the fun celebrations, because
I think that it could go a lot of a
lot of different ways. Maybe you weren't a Washington fan,
so you hated that, but it was me.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
You know, you know, I like when I was in college,
I don't why did they start the mile high salute?
Was anybody? Was there any sort of military tie to it?
I was the guy's named Mike Anderson was running.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Back the Yeah he was a Marine, but charl Davis
did it before.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
It was Trell Davis before him, right again, that was
I was thinking the timeline. So does anyone know why
they started? For whatever reason? I liked the mile high salute?
I don't. And we did it when we were in college,
were playing because Adrian Peterson is our best player, uh,
not the football player, the basketball player from Little Rock, Arkansas,
and he loved the Broncos. A couple of the guys
liked the Broncos. Of course they were winning. Everybody like

(09:26):
seems they're winning, and we did the mile high salute
for a little bit. There.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
There's a if you just do the quick Google search,
artificial intelligence tells us that uh Davis is credited with
the tradition, as he saluted the crowd after every touchdown.
Some say a military mindset and master P inspired the salute.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Master P because they were boudy, boudy, rowdy, rowdy Meg
him say oh, Meg, say no not non no. It
was a dark, dark days for Ratney, so those of
us were raptans dark.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh no, it sounded pretty cool what you just did.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Dark days, Dark days there, yo, This is every college
party ever went to. Our guys would take over the
DJ thing and next thing, you know, Mystical and Master p.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Were I'll tell you another one that may have been
disrespectful to the opponent, and I know the National Football
League didn't like it, but Joe Horn's cell phone celebration
when he hid the cell phone underneath the goal post
padding define like creativity. Yes, that's there's that was great?

(10:41):
It was I think it was a flip phone. Maybe
to Thomas do that too? Wait what am I thinking of?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He could get to Joe Horn? George, Hey, who was
you would know it was?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
It?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Webster Slaughter? And who is the other Browns wide receiver?
They used to jump up like they're gonna have five,
But it's like a high chest pump for the Browns.
This is a buyer one.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I know you gosh, what are the Brown's receiver?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah? Who was the other Browns receiver?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, hit Osie knew some on those teams. I know
they had Frank Minfield in the hand for Dixon with
a corners. Oh gosh, I can't remember off the top
of my head.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
I keep thinking of Billy White Shoes Johnson, but totally
different era. But he'd also had a memorable celebration, right
he was the dancer, Yeah, white shoes.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Ernest Gibbons did the electric slide for the or Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well there was also I mean William refrigerator. Oh no,
Ikey shuffle.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah yeah, Ikey shuffle still relevant to this day.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, they brought it back for the TV commercial Super
TV commercial, Right, it's like in there he was doing
like the frozen food section or something.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I think a second place to that was the dirty
Bird Jamal Anderson.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
In the fact, I like the dirty Bird a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
That was kind of whatever about it. I really wasn't
bad about it. But but.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I think Eugene Robinson took that phrase literally a couple
of nights before the super he wanted to be a
dirty bird.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Well, listen, Jamal Anderson, he had his own to be.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
There are a lot of there are a lot of
things out there. There are a lot of celebrations in
different different sports. I don't think he was I don't
think was he.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't think he was the one off in the bathroom,
wasn't he.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
No, No, he was the one with the.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah yeah, no, no, Jamal Anderson.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Oh oh, Jamal Anderson.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, running back Atlanta Falcons, slightly later era than Eugene Robinson.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yes, okay, gotcha, he was No, they played on the
same team because Jamal Anders played the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, okay, yeah. I think it was like a little
bit later on, like post career. He had issue bathroom Michigan.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I will say this in Major League Baseball and maybe
Sweater maybe Jason remembers this, but Prince Fielder once hit
a walk off home run against the San Francisco Giants,
and as soon as he touched home plate, because the
team was a roundom walk off shot, all of the
Brewers fell down and it was just Print standing on

(13:23):
home plate with his arms extended, and the Giants just
hated everything about that. But it was great showmanship at
that point, and it was something that nobody had ever
done before or had ever seen. And because you just
thought people would be jumping up and down like they
always do, and they all fell to the ground. Yes,

(13:45):
that's one of my favorites.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
What the you mentioned mile high salute. Maybe most iconic
celebrations like that would be that would be up there
and I'm looking at I'm watching the golf channel right now.
And obviously Tiger Woods isn't isn't playing now, but like
I think of him, Yes, yes, his fist bump is

(14:15):
one of the the all timers. It's tough, it's individual sport.
It's also natural, it's not planned, but that is one
of the that's one of the iconic ones.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well. Chichi Rodriguez also used to right, he take the
grip side of his and he do the little like
swordsman thing, and then he would put it in in
his side a little zoro so anigo montoyo. Only he
knew something that we did not know. You know what

(14:47):
that is, Sam, Princess Bride, Yes, that he was not
left handed.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Oh you are asking me about the movie?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yes, Sam, do you have any celebrations? Is there any
Iowa celebrations?

Speaker 5 (14:59):
I was sort of thinking in the in more along
the lines of like stuff that fans do or that
stuff that the team does as a whole. I will
share with you guys this one. This is the Iowa
marching band. When they're at home and they get a victory,
they do the Iowa victory poke, and I'll sing along
for you guys for your no.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
No, we're good, We're good.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
In heaven, there is no beer. Come on, guys, that's
why we drink it here. And when we're gone from here,
our friends will be drinking all our beer, all of
our bere I was off to you. I was a
little bit and you guys get it. And then they
go into the locker room and they do like a
sped up fight song where they kind of chant it,

(15:39):
they don't really sing it. That's the team does that
behind closed doors. Back when Hayden Fry was a coach,
they used to do the hokey pokey. They always get
that on video. So there's a couple of fun ones
from from Iowa. I do love the I'm not sure
it's like a positive thing, but I do love the
Paul bunyan Zacs chopping down the goalpost, which we talked
about yesterday. And then when PJ. Fleck in Minnesota got

(15:59):
the victory over Wisconsin this past WEEKENDJA you know, he
had a he had like an inflatable axe and they
had him on like he was crowdsurfing in the locker
room and he was just smashing that thing against the
ceiling and it was just the funniest, very the funniest
visual you could imagine. So I did enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
I have thought of working the sweater tie.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I think.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
I think it's a good look for him. He's just
sort of a Jim Trustle thing.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, you like it. You think that's his deal.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
The quarter zip and the tie that can work. He
owns it.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I lost. I have a really cool mind. We have
white quarter zips, black green. All these college basketball coaches
wear quarter zips. My white one I love and I
lost it. So and we're like out of them because
everybody loves them. So we just ordered some new quarter
We got some black ones coming in.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
They are really nice, spicy. I have one more thing quickly.
You know, I wasn't a fan of this before, but
I really come to like love and respect Freddy Freeman,
and I did not like his little like on bas Dance.
I call it the geometric parallel arms. I guess you
could call it. But now all the players do it
because they love him, and I think it's cool. It's fine.
It's it's just like, you know, they won the World
Series and he was the man, so you know what

(17:06):
I'm talking about where he goes like the little p
little to the second thing.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Don't they all do that.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
But he's didn't. He started though, right, he was. He
started that right, pretty fine baseball.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
There's there's lots of them when dudes are cadillacing around
the around the base path.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
By the way, while we're on the quarter zips. If
you ordered a bunch of them, feel free to bring
three us a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
I've actually we've discussed this as a staff. I asked,
uh Cayden, the captain, who's our equipment guy, Like, hey, dude,
I said, hey, I need some quarter zips, so I
ordered you too. No, No, I need like ten to fifteen
of them. It's like why, It's like, because my guys
all want those, so I'll have it when I get
back on the On the quarter zips, they're nice, they're company.

(17:56):
There's like two levels of the Adidas ones. There's like
the basic ones, which I'll give you, and then there's
a really nice soft ones which are supple.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
So we've had but Doug Department, you remember hold On,
Department of Corrections. Mike Linguard just came in. He he
told me that the whole Freddie Freeman parallel geometric arms
started when Freddy was at a party and a viral
video started where he did that as a dance move
and then his teammates started clowning him and I didn't
know this and uh and then it's become just a thing,
a uh US team thing. So thank you, thank you,

(18:26):
Mike ling Guard.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I liked what's in chadow Chasinko. He didn't need to
do the golf or the football one. Did a bowling
one as well.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, he did. Some ones Rememory wore like they made
a Hall of Fame jacket for him on the sidelines,
but they had to make it so big, so a
door around his shoulder pads.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yes, what's funny is that's the closest he'll ever get
to wearing a Hall of Fame jacket, right.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh yeah, that's the.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Ultimate irony in it is like, yeah, that's did he
make the Hall of Fame? Like well, sort of in
his own mind?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Uh tee.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I mean listen, I was never a big t O
guy because he was all about himself. But the too
celebration with the T and the O was kind of cool.
It was definitely his own thing. Well, Barry Sanders just
left the ball, the referee.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
T O went on, what was it the Dallas Star
as a member of the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yes, I thought Niners. I think it's when he was
on the Niner Too Star and then.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
He became the Dallas cabin, the sharpie against the Seahawks. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I mean NFL football has kind of been our
soccer in terms of celebrations, so you know, obviously, I mean, like, look,
I've never liked the Night Night deal with Steph Curry,
but when he hit those four threes the Olympics and
the last one was ridiculous, and then he hit him
with the Night Night like, I don't know if there's
a I can't think of a better end to any

(19:52):
championship sporting event than what he did there, and then
that celebration fitted it was pretty cool, pretty good. All right,
We're good. That is the Midway, The Midway.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Stug Out Lib show Fox Sports Radio. There's always things
we like, look back on and want to do better,
and it's one of the reasons now as a coach,
I watch a ton of film, you watch film with practice,
you watch from the games, and you're trying to think,
what can I do better? Well, Dan Byer is somebody
who's a very thoughtful person. He has his own bit
of sports remorse. We call it buyer's remorse.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Some have remorse.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior.
I engagement, but.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
There's nothing quite like buyer's remorse.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
All right, Dan, Yeah, doega some some recent, some far obait, well,
some far far away. We'll go with the most recent one.
I have some buyers remorse from earlier in the show. Really,
when I said that I felt Valpo was the headliner
in the Horizon League, this is me getting old and
not remembering the time as it was. They actually joined

(21:15):
the Horizon in two thousand and seven and made their
NCAA tournament appearances after Butler went to their back to
back national championship.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I didn't know that because in ninety ninety eight was
when Bryce Drew hit the shot right?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes, what were they in the Mid Continent comment the
time which turned into the Summer.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
League, which turns into the Summit League.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, that was.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
And Dan getting older now he's in the Incontinent conference. Wow,
I had to do that one.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
He also did it during the break, So this is
the second time I've heard that joke.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
It was it was his jerk store line.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah yeah, can you can you do?

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Don't you me? Vern's a friend. Bern Lunquist is a friend.
So I've done this in front of him. But can
we try that? Try that line one more time? Sam,
And I'm gonna give you my best Bern Monquist.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Laugh well, and Dan say's getting older now he's in
the incontinent conference.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's my fern work.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
That's good. That made me laugh. Oh don't worry, Sam,
your time will come. It's not too far away.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
We were listening before the radio show. Okay, so before
the radio show, we're going on our scattering port and
we use a we have like a cool like projector
thing where you put on anywhere. So the stream didn't
quite fit and I'm like, let just put it on
the wall and like I can't read any of these words. Guys,
They're like, how old are you? It's like my thing
is distant and most people when they get older it's
up close. Mine is my stigmatism is distance. And I

(22:55):
was like, man, I'm getting so old. Anyway, what else
you have remorse for?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, and I'll say this, I thought I had egalized
and I can't see crap. Now it's moving forward. I
always felt that my eyesight was my strength when I
was younger, Doug, and now it's just yeah, it's a
complete Do you guys need eyeglasses? Because well, yeah, I
actually do have a pair, but I probably need to

(23:20):
get a different prescription.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
So it's actually a lesson for all listeners. Dan, you know,
your brain does a lot to compensate for your lack
of sight. So your site doesn't go out overnight, it
gradually does and your brain compensates. The only way to
find out is to go get your eyes shocked once
a year.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's good information. Just a PSA.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Sure, Can I give one more psa about how awesome
Dan is? Nope, this is a compliment to Dan. Dan's
like I need to correct myself about the Valpo what
conference they're in? Like, only the most hardcore Valpo fan
hearing that earlier in the show had been like, I
don't know if that's correct. Everyone else've been like, oh yeah, sure,
But Dan cares about the details so much. He's like, dang,
I really I screwed that up. I gotta I gotta

(24:04):
go back and correct that, and like, I really appreciate
that about Dan going back, and he's like, I care
about that detail. Even to myself, it was.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I had remorse about it. You know what else I
had remorse of, Thanks Sam for that. I wrote off
Jameis Winston and I don't think he right back.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
He didn't right back.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
He did right back again. That makes no sense. But
Gino Smith is still riding the riding the wave of that.
I did not think that he would be a viable
option anymore, and I was wrong. Now the interceptions are
still there.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, I thought he's the same guy.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yes, yes he is. I thought after he suffered that
knee injury that it was over with. And I even
kind of just poop pooed the thought of why don't
they go to Jameis Winston. I'm like, well, it's because
Jameis Winston is not good anymore. But Jameis Winston was wrong,
and I was wrong about Jameis Winston, and so I
feel bad. I feel bad about that. I don't I
don't see any team just like Joe Flacco last year,

(25:00):
racing to get Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback at
this time. But I'll tell you what, he sure extended
his career for another five or ten years if he
wants it, considering how he was slinging it on Monday night.
So I have remorse on me thinking that Jameis Winston
was washed up, all right?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
I mean, I think the thing about Jamis is and
I do think it translates into like, does all do
all the things he says make sense? No, but for
some reason you just walk away smiling kind of like
I generally like the guy, you know, and I don't
know him, and I'm sure that's why he's stuck so

(25:40):
long in the NFL. Is he does have a really
good football brain and people like him. And it's one
of the things I tell my kids, Like it doesn't
mean you have to try and be popular, but life
is kind of a popularity contest, you know. Just be
a good person, be a good dude, be a good lady,
and people like you, and you'll survive longer. And you know,
it's the it's the reason Placo's still in the league.

(26:03):
You know, it's the reason Donald obviously got another shot.
But why Donald was in the league and why other
guys Jay Cutler, Josh Rose and other dudes that they
just those surly guys. They don't last. That act does
not last long.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Have you watched that point? Have you reached that kind
of oversaturation point with Jamis and his act? And I
think NFL media and everybody that covers the NFL is
guilty of this. They find a colorful personality who's got
kind of a stick and then they just play it
up like every pregame speech now has got to be yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
It's a lot, yeah, yeah, But I even the pregame
speech thing is is kind of cheesy. You know. Look,
I'll be honest with you. I just tell you. And
I've always thought this as a coach, like not every
game you have to give some fire and brimstone. You know.
Sometimes the game speaks for itself. Sometimes you gotta read
your team. But I'm with you, there's some oversaturation. But like, look,
there's all these stories are oversaturated. I was, I was.

(27:02):
I thought the Buffalo snow thing was it snows every
every year. They have this in Buffalo, and every year
they figure it out and they play football games. Every
once in a while they postpone one. I don't know
are we.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Tired of snow games now? After seeing the Buffalo I'm
not tired of I'm not.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Tired of snow games. You are, I know you are, Dan,
But I just my thing was like I can't believe
that this thing is not They're like, oh my god,
they're going to clear this thing off. Like yeah, in
Buffalo they figure it out how to clean off the snow.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Doesn't seem to affect the Bills either in their ability
to score the snow. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
They have the biggest, strongest, fastest quarterback. You know, they
get they get the new age John Elway, That's who
that guy is.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Again. I just don't know why they just can't take
two huge snow plows and they have them just plow
the field at halftime and move on.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Take a take like a zamponi like it they have
like a zamboni type of steel.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, Like, why are we just shoveling the yard lines?
Just get two plows out there and take care of it.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Can I just actually, Dan, do you mind if I
say something? You can disagree with it if you want.
I kind of think that John Elway never gets brought
up as like and maybe it's because he became kind
of a bad executive. But John Elway was the the
s you know what, you know what, you know what,
Like I don't know how many letters I'm allowed to.

(28:23):
He was amazing. He was amazing, and I truly believe that,
you know, they fell on their face, found on their face.
His first two Super Bowls, I thought that's because they
weren't very good, and they had those two incredible wins
which they shouldn't have had against the Cleveland Browns. In
Cleveland one was because of the drive, which because of
John Elway, like he was literally that good. And then

(28:45):
the second one was because Ernest Miyne was going into
the end zone and fumbled, like he was actually going
to score and win the game and he fumbled. So
I just I don't know John Elway. He's not a friend.
This has nothing new with it. My daughter met him once,
like in Newport Beach. He's like, Dad, is there a
do you have you ever heard a GotY named John Elways? Like, yeah, yeah,

(29:06):
I'm at his house. He's really nice, Like he was
like one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. Anyway, when we
bring up names of all time great quarterbacks, it does
feel like Marino still gets his shine. Joe Montana was
he was Brady before Brady. Maybe he was Joe Burrow
meets Brady, but Elway was awesome.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Well, Douglas, when you are out on Monday, and I
did this on the I Want Your Flex podcast at
me and my Carmen Due because Ian's our producer and
Ian's twenty four years old. Monsie's a young and she
was with me on Monday, and I just asked, do
you know what the drive is? Do you know what
the fumble is? Do you know what the catches? And

(29:45):
that generation does not know. I don't know what those
things mean. There's so much a part of our lives.
But now that you know, we've got now that we're
old and can't see and you know, need to run
to the John all the time.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It's members of the In Continent Conference. I'm coach of
the team and the in Continent covered where it comes.
I'm contonent again, I got.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
A charter members. Yeah, those things are old hat to us,
but generations, the younger generations have no idea what I'm
talking about when we mentioned those things.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
No, they don't remember Montana Alway Super Bowl. It was
actually at Stanford Stadium, right, was that where Stanford plays
now before they redid it.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
They beat the Dolphins the the as I said, Marino Montana.
I thought, I thought you were talking about something. I
thought you were talking about the Niners drive to beat
the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
No, no, I was talking about the the Marino versus
Montana was in like we think of the Super Bowl
now in all these stadiums, like it was at Stanford Stadium,
which was kind of a dump then it's really cool
now but small hey, and they only played once again
At the time, I'm not sure I realized it's how
close that was to San Francisco. And I remember that

(31:04):
game because my sister's hamster we found dead at halftime.
Oh she Fuffy Buffy Dampster barred that one.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
The next time show.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
It was like, I wonder what the halftime show was.
But like literally it was one of those like, oh,
well the Dolphins in the super Bowl, they'll be in
the zuer Bowl bunch, right, they got damn Reno and
they were never in the super Bowl again. And here's
the other one that you remember again because we're old guys. Jay,
you remembered as well. They beat the eaty they only
team to beat eighty five Bears.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yep. I don't think we'd do a good job in
teaching our you know, following generations of really what the
eighties and nineties were all about.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, it's because you have like the Super Bowl shuffled,
terrible music videos. You know, we got all these stories
of all this other stuff. But yeah, I remember the
Rams and Jason can remember this. The Rams played the Bears.
I want to see NFC championship game. It might have
just been the Divisional championship game. And I think shun
and Debta was there. Punter. I don't remember who the
punter was, but it was so cold to when he

(32:04):
first the Rams had no chance, like once they ran
out of the Oh my god, I feel cold watching
on TV. And then they went to punt and the
wind blew the punt and like it, he air punted.
He missed the ball.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yes, yeah, I think it was. I think you remember
the Giants, Yeah, sign hn first game.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I don't remember. I don't remember who. I don't remember
who the Rams punter was. I just remember he looked
really cool and the and the wind blew the ball.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yes, eighty five eighty.

crush more kindergarten. She's my kindergarten, my third grade teacher,
third grade, hellow crush. Let's get to U. Dan Byer
with the press, the press, Danny, what you got?

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Iowa? Sam was just loving his joke. It's GC sending
US group texts about the Incontinent Conference. Oh, it's awesome, baby.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
I wanted to stay in the air, but we were
getting laid on the clock there, so I texted the joke.
The Incontinent Conference is the only conference with the true
diaper dandies. Oh, let me tell you, I got a
million of them today.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
They're looking at expanding. They may target Brown from the
Ivy League.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh, they may bring in since it's no longer Ouey pooy,
they may bring in pooy.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Keep it going. Oh oh man.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
That conference is a lot of crap.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Let me tell you all right, it depends.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
It depends on fire.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
All right, all right, back to back to the to
the business.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Think about the capital. Believe believe you got Brown, you
got Ouy pooy, you got all kinds of crap teamsineer
you know.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
All right. Grizzlies guard Jahn Morant told reporters last night
after the loss to the Dollar Savericks that he's not
dunking anymore. It's not that he won't ever dunk, but
those don't acrobatic dunks, those powerful dunks. Yes, he says,
sometimes he gets hit, sometimes he gets fouled, He hits
the floor, he's taking some hits, his body feels it,

(35:16):
and he's trying to preserve his body. So yeah, you're
not going to see a lot of dunks from Ja Morant,
who I think ESPN reporter has just three so far
in the twelve games he's played this season.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
You know. I mean his previous plan was they drive
the lane, go down their packing but now obviously they
can't do that.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Oh boy, that's what I thought. I thought dog could
be like props to Ja Morant for growing up and
doing the smart thing. That's the smart thing.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Don't go in there and finish, go in there, finished, be.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
A man Zion. Zion says he'll continue to dunk his
donuts and chocolate. So there's the this never ends. Oh gosh,
I was gonna tell you that Trevor Lawrence is placed
on IR but there's no jokes to be made about that.

(36:09):
The Jackson Arnold, Oklahoma quarterback and during the transfer portal well,
USC head coach Lincoln Riley says, I'm a USC trojan.
This is the only place that I want to be.
This on the heels of a report that UCF reached
out to reps of Riley to Gage's interest, to go there.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
By the way, what commercial was it where the quarterback
gets hit and they come over and they ask him
and he's like, I'm Batman. We can never make that
ad anymore. Do you guys remember that ad?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I don't, honey. Finally, the Rayvends suspended Deontay Johnson for
one game. GM Eric DaCosta said Johnson refused to go
into the game against the Eagles on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, he never even't gonna catches and targets anyway. So
it's like you suspended from a guy that wasn't gonna
get play, can't play obviously, can't cut him because it
was contract. I guess, I just I can't believe they
haven't cut him yet.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
That's the press out there and pressed.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
That was the press, all right, games in about an
hour and a half. ESPN Plus check it out. It's
